France debates plan to ban virginity testing

Women in at least 20 countries are subjected to virginity tests, sometimes by force, as families, lovers or potential employers use them to assess their virtue, honour or social value, according to the World Health Organization .

But not everyone agrees, with some experts predicting unintended fallout from France's proposed ban, which is part of a wider Islamic separatism bill due in parliament next month. Before issuing a virginity certificate, a doctor usually inspects a woman's hymen – the thin tissue that may partially cover her vagina – checking for tears or measuring the opening.

Doctors say single women fear rejection if they cannot show a certificate to families where traditional gender expectations hold sway when it comes to sex before marriage. "If you want to deal with this issue then women must be taken care of, not prevented from having a piece of paper they need to save their lives," she said.
